Family Granola
Not everyone can eat nuts, so try coconut flakes, mixed seeds, orange zest, stirred into the oil and honey or chocolate or cocoa chips.

Ingredients
100mls light olive oil or sunflower oil
60g honey
60g peanut butter (either crunchy or smooth – it's up to you)
400g porridge oats
a large handful of your favourite nuts – optional
a large handful of your favourite dried fruit
Method
Ask an adult to heat your oven to 150°C. Cut out a piece of baking parchment to cover a baking tray or a swiss roll tin.
Put the oil, honey and peanut butter into a saucepan. Get an adult to help you warm it up on the hob. You just need to melt the peanut butter and honey, not heat it too much, or let it bubble.
Put the oats into a large bowl and gently stir in the honey mixture. Use a wooden spoon and make sure all of the oats are mixed in and are coated with the honey mixture.
Spread the oats onto the tin you have prepared with the parchment and press it down with the back of a wooden spoon. Ask a grown-up to put it into the oven. It will have to stay in the oven for an hour and a grown-up can stir it halfway through.
Take it out of the oven and leave it on the tray. When it has cooled down stir in the nuts and dried fruit and whatever other flavours you would like to add.
